The Rainger FX Echo-X is a compact digital delay mini pedal offering real time control over essential parameters, and it now includes a unique 'gate' switch option, introducing the world’s first gated echo effect. This pedal, the echo counterpart to the Reverb-X, gives musicians unprecedented control over echo feedback, making it a versatile and powerful tool for any setup.
With the 'gate' pushbutton activated, all echo repeats cut off when you stop playing. This innovative feature allows for distinctive rhythmic delay effects, creating a choppy guitar sound that syncs with your playing. High feedback delays, usually hard to control, become manageable, stopping abruptly in the gaps between notes. This level of control over echo feedback is truly revolutionary.
The Rainger FX Echo-X comes equipped with an Igor pressure pad controller, which can adjust delay speed, feedback amount, or serve as a 'send' control. When using Igor, your sound remains dry until you press on the pad, diverting the signal through the delay circuitry. This expressive feature is perfect for daily use, adding a new dimension to your playing.
The Rainger FX Echo-X provides up to 540ms of delay time, with controls for level, rate, feedback, input, and volume. The 'LVL' control ranges from no echo to slightly louder than the input signal, while 'FBK' spans from a single repeat to intense feedback oscillation. The 'INPT' control manages the input signal, with an overload LED indicator to prevent distortion. The volume knob can boost the signal back up as needed.
Housed in a Rainger FX mini pedal enclosure, the Echo-X features top mounted sockets and Igor mode switches on the bottom end panel. Igor, named after the Dr Freakenstein Fuzz accessory, is a small, light, pressure sensitive pad that works by foot or hand and plugs into a mini jack socket on the top panel. The Rainger FX Echo-X packs in features like smart gated effects and foot controlled runaway repeats, showcasing Rainger FX's commitment to innovative sound design.
Despite its compact size, the Echo-X offers more tweakable functions than many full size delay pedals, thanks to the included Igor foot controller. The gate function, activated by a white button on the left, ensures that delay stops repeating when you stop playing, allowing for high feedback levels with instant control. Other controls include standard input gain and output volume knobs, with two push buttons for Igor functionality. The 'send' button allows the delay circuit to be fed only your dry signal when you squeeze the controller, while the other button lets you control the rate or feedback of the repeats.
The Rainger FX Echo-X delivers a unique sound, even with the delay level set to zero, adding a slight midrange scoop and extra treble chime to your dry signal. The Rainger FX Echo-X's delay effects blur the line between digital and analogue, offering a slightly mushy tonality with progressively thinning low end, perfect for high feedback dubby effects. The gate feature performs as advertised, letting you create heavy washes of delay that stop abruptly with string damping.
The 'send' button is particularly useful, allowing you to play dry while existing delay repeats continue naturally. This feature enables organic use of delay, though it cannot be combined with Igor's other functions. Squeezing down on Igor offers intuitive control, sending repeats scurrying in speed and pitch or maxing out feedback for distorted self oscillation.
Rainger FX has managed to pack extensive functionality and impressive tone into a tiny unit, making the Echo-X a formidable addition to any pedalboard.
